Two years have passed since a celebrated Warrior and White Mage from San d’Oria held festivities in the Kokba Hostel in honor of their initiative’s anniversary. One year of travelling, meeting people of all kinds of trades and sharing their stories with the help of their moogles suddenly came to an end.

Word of a certain Rostam alive and well in the Great South caught young Sooraya’s ears and any chance of reuniting herself with her father would not be left unattended. Upon returning to Norg, Gilgamesh confirmed he rumor and allowed her to board the next vessel to the southern continent of Olzhirya. It was a hard decision, but it was time for her to stand on her own armored feet and adventure on her own.

Bound to his duty as a San d’Orian hero, and working hard to strengthen the ties between the allied nations, Tamtu was given no choice to let his partner go and watch her venture towards new horizons.

Nights spent in the San d’Orian Cathedral, the Temple of the Goddess in Upper Jeuno and occasionally the shrine in the Bastokan Metalworks during his residence there gave him one solid answer…

The adventure was still only just beginning. Sooraya realized that. Tamtu now did too.

Never forgetting the past, people do grow stronger when they unchain themselves from eachother. What stories have come from the adventurers over the past two years? What have you, the children of the Dawn Goddess, done to grow in your destinies?

Share your tales in the new season of He Says, She Says!
